The other motherboard I have is from an old 486 computer, but that didn't have
any luck with Linux at all. It's a totally unstable computer. I'll try Debian, though,
if I ever find the time. But the motherboard is very old. I'd think it'd be more
capable of causing problems than my current one.

I'll try the hdparm thing and some of you guys' other suggestions. Thanks!
